Viewpoint from an Industry Leader
John Chambers - CEO
May 2, 2006 issue
"Network IT (& Telecom) is not only back but it' going to change the way we s live, work, learn and play." Time and again Chambers repeated the mantra “anytime, any place, any screen, any device, any network”. "In the past we associated a given device with a given type of content," Chambers said. "Now multiple devices and multiple screens are sharing the same experience … and that will lead to a huge productivity (and bandwidth demand) increase."

Information Market Drivers Remain Intact
Internet’s World Wide Web:
Bandwidth demand increasing 50% to 100% per year Bandwidth cost falling 25% to 40% per year
Utilization:
685,000,000 Users Online Daily & Growing Backbone Traffic Now Exceeds 1Tb/s
Fiber-optic Infrastructure:
300,000,000+ km of Installed Fiber-optics Mass Deployment of FTTH & SOHO in US Backbone Migrating from 10Gb/s 40Gb/s 10GbE (Ethernet) Evolving to 100GbE Conversion of PSTN to IP Appears Inevitable

Opportunities for 100Gb/s Polymer Modulators
[July 25, 2006] The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 Ethernet standards working group formed the Higher Speed Study Group (HSSG) to evaluate the requirements for the next generation of Ethernet technology (100GbE). It was observed that a cost effective polymer based modulator suitable for 100GbE Datacom could easily eclipse Telecom’s $500M+ market opportunities within 5 years.
Verizon has stated publicly it will need to implement 100Gb/s in its networks by 2009 to satisfy demand for video distribution … and it could well be a 100GbE IP network by then.

Anatomy of Our Material Advancement
Classic Quote #1
17
The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same things … in the same ways …
and expecting different results !
Problem –
Using industry standard Bond Length Alternation theories, an E-O active polymer is ‘stretched’ ( -bridge conduction) increasing its performance but consequently also increasing its instabilities. “The more you do to make the polymer better, the worse it gets.”
Anatomy of Our Material Advancement
Classic Quote #2
18
The only way to predict the future …
… is to create it !
Solution –
Instead of taking an E-O active polymer and trying to make it stable, we took a fundamentally stable polymer and made it E-O active. The result is called Cyclic Surface Conduction (CSC) theory and has allowed ThirdOrder Nanotechnologies to demonstrate stable polymers having >650% better performance than the best competitive BLA materials (eg. CLD, FTC).

Long atomic chains improve EO performance … but with temperature & photo instability penalties
compared with:
